Now retired, he has even more time to visit European opera houses, concert halls and galleries. John has a special love for collecting rarities and visiting the less well known houses which present varied repertoire and develop young artists. He attended his first opera in 1965 as a schoolboy and fervently believes that everyone should have access to this life enriching art form. John’s other main interest is mountain trekking and when he can combine the two, he’s in heaven, though – unlike the heroine of La Wally – he has never been swept away by an avalanche.

Then, after working for a time for a charity in Cheshire, he retrained once again, this time as a teacher of English as a foreign language. He can trace his opera-going to a performance of The Mikado in 1970 and his concert-going to a “family concert” given by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra a year or so later. He has been attending concerts and operas enthusiastically ever since. He now frequents many concert halls and theatres in the North West of England with occasional trips further afield.https://bachtrack.com/files/39512-craig-ogden2-resized.jpg510340Craig Ogden2016-May-14, Heritage Centre: Craig Ogden and Northern Chamber Orchestrahttps://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/heritage-centre/craig-ogden-and-northern-chamber-orchestra/14-may-2016/19-302016-05-142016-05-14Heritage CentreMacclesfieldNorth-WestUnited KingdomSK11 6UT4
